Morning Paul,
I have several RSGB books picked up while stationed in Europe in the mid-1980's
and later through work visits that I still reread occasionally. I have a job
that often requires me to participate in things that are "PED 0" (no personal
electronic devices allowed) and carrying hard copy books are very convenient
for "down time". One of my favorites in the mid-1990's VHF-UHF DX Book which
has lots of good, if dated information. In fact the 2017 digital version of
that book even states:
"As with all older books, the challenge for the reader is to separate the
parts that are of lasting value from other parts that have become dated. But we
make no apology for the latter; they remain an accurate snapshot of VHF/UHF
DXing in its heyday."
And I am old enough to remember some of the times they discussed.

Some of the information is a bit dated but it is a good book. I have the
first edition (1991) and second edition (2012). Actually I have two
copies of the first edition. Why? Not a clue.
